Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print. In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success. Well, Mr Brown is a farmer, and the book basically has him go through the various sounds that animals make. Mind you, this is from an English point of view, which means that all of the sounds are the sounds that the animals make if they happened to speak English. The reason I say that is because when you go to other languages you suddenly discover that the sounds that animals make are different. Sure, the sounds don’t change, but the interpretation of the sounds do.

As the child of a mathematics professor and a Christian church organist, I’ve always been fascinated with the interplay between science and religion—two different languages attempting to answer life’s most profound questions,” said Brown. “These contrasting viewpoints are central to my novels, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with the Boston Museum of Science on this thought-provoking project, which explores these captivating topics through the uniquely immersive experience of the planetarium." Oh man! I just loved how Dr. Seuss is able to make a book about sounds be so creative and fun to read! When I read this book as a child, I always had fun repeating the various sounds that Mr. Brown made, such as making buzzing sounds like a bee, making popping noises like a cork, making sounds like “DIBBLE DIBBLE DOPP DOPP” to represent the sound of rain falling and making noises like thunder and lightning. Dr. Seuss’ artwork is as creative as ever as Mr. Brown is mostly clad in a brown outfit which goes well with his name. I also loved seeing his facial expressions whenever he was making sounds, like having his eyes squint whenever he is making sounds that are hard to do, like a hippopotamus chew gum! The family interactions, throughout the story, were sweet, too! We see the family enjoying breakfast together, for example, and Mr. Brown’s sister offers him her shoes to wear. Most of all, the story focuses on the father-son interaction between Mr. Brown and his dad as the two hunt for the shoes.This is a sweet story of the love between a father and his child. This tale shows you don't have to do something special to make good memories. In this case, everyday tasks are used to make a great day for Mr. Brown and his dad. Readers will love looking at the pictures of the shoe search, because if they look closely, they can find them! How about you?" The first occurrence of the question. The first invitation. Why are you in the bushes, Mr. Brown? What does this cow know that it should fear you, prepare to run, and put its tail in an unlikely direction? This is a lovely tale that shows how much a father loves his son by helping him. I loved the effort the two made together to get the work done. The story promotes that the most important thing is time shared together. The artwork is engaging and will hold young ones’ attention. Awe, wonder, and curiosity about the universe and our place in it resonates among people of very different cultures, identities and worldviews,” said Dr. Katy Hinman, Program Director, AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSER) program. “We are excited to see the Museum’s new planetarium show recognizing and honoring faith’s importance as a core pillar of identity for most people around the world, and bringing that into conversation with the scientific exploration of the universe.” In the end, Mr. Brown, who really could not find his shoes, is glad he couldn't because he was thrilled to spend the day with his dad.

God, Science and Our Search for Meaning was developed by the Planetarium's in-house production team working alongside Dan Brown and in consultation with a diverse group of advisors throughout its four-year production. Thought leaders in science and religion contributed guidance in ensuring the film took great care covering this intersection.Now Mr. Brown talks to the inanimate. Pop pop. But who put the bottle into the air? Did Mr. Brown? His eyes are again closed. There is someone off screen. There must be. Is it the narrator?
